These and other methods are good reason to believe that AI can never be 100% contained, which gives me pause.

The famous air gap case is stuxnet, but there are other technical and biological approaches.

It’s a very weird reality we’ve found ourselves in if you stop, zoom out about, and really take in the gravity of the issues we are grappling with as a human race. Exciting, truly, and a bit nerve wracking.

Did we just silently slip into the “censoring classic books” phase silently, like an old man creeping into a comfortable bed?

If I pick up a copy on a random bookstore shelf or unused from Amazon, is it likely to be censored?

I read this when it came out and was floored

There’s also a great book I think called The Mastermind

I absolutely loved the grievance study affair lol. It’s all too funny, but it’s actually a genuine problem that could lead to the eventual downfall of the whole enterprise, if it’s a massive towel of babel build upon rotten wood

lol yes, all my posts are riddled with typos. I like to blame iOS keyboard but really I’m just carelessly fast as typing and don’t review

At least I’m clearly human

Yes mine too. But how did your health improve?

There “mood” and all that, but placebo has a heavy affect here.

The more direct question is how lifespan and cancer rate track between:

High D levels via supplementation and low sun exposure

High D levels via no supplementation and high sun exposure

Low D levels with low sun exposure

Low D levels with high sun exposure

(And of course those between)

The goal is to determine whether D itself is improving longevity and cancer rate, which would be implied by improved metrics in the group with high supplementation and low sun exposure. If this group doesn’t fare better, the D levels may be a misleading indicator of health, and those living longer with high D levels are doing so because of their increased sun exposure (as opposed to the raw blood D level offered by supplementation)

I thought recent research concluded that supplementation doesn’t actually work, and that vitamin D may be a read hearing and it’s actually just a byproduct of the true benefit (proper) sun exposure

Forgive me, I have no link, I feel like medical and nutrition advice changes 180 daily.

Does this ring a bell to anyone?

You have to have surplus money to burn to pay outrageous fees for something you could otherwise do for yourself—I know the story you’re selling about disabled geriatrics, but these companies wouldn’t be worth what they are worth if those were the majority of users. This is normie laziness.

The whole western world was insane at that time, and NFTs were only a minor side plot

That said, it’s got to be one of the funniest moments in modern history.

His episode (the finale of season 1) of Extras is absolutely hilarious. I know he’s not primarily known for comedy, but he’s funny as hell.
